What does it take to join the DVA staff. I would love to do that one day, but I would like to know how to get there eventually and if I even can. Does it just take time?

Lots of time devoted to the VA (there aren't really any specific numbers, it's more up to the existing staff), a history of helping others in ACARS and the cooler, and depending on the position, a detailed knowledge of the specific aircraft type. I worked toward becoming on the staff team ever since I had joined because I just KNEW that it was the best VA out there, and still is. wink DVA/AFVA has a huge sense of maturity, which is definitely lacking at many other VAs around. If you just work towards it, one day a certain door may open when you least expect it. This is just my opinion, I'm sure Andrew or someone else in OPS may have a more precise definition. eek I do recommend checking out pages 47-48/43-44 inside the Pilot's Manual for more info.

Glad you're enjoying DVA Yisrael! As Matthew said, the Pilot's manual is a great place to start. I would also recommend completing the flight academy courses when you're ready.

I've been doing the online flying course for a bit. It's pretty fun
